UPDATE: Melky Cabrera signs with Blue Jays

ORIGINAL POST: Melky Cabrera, the Giants left fielder in 2012 until his Aug. 15 suspension for violating baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement, has signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to national reports. ESPN Deportes broke the story.

I never got a sense that the Giants were serious about bringing Cabrera back after the embarrassed the organization and disappointed his legions of new fans, not only by taking a performance-enhancing drug but by his ham-fisted effort to cover up the crime.

The Giants play the Blue Jays four times in 2013, twice in Toronto and twice at AT&T Park.
